The Second Edition of this best-selling introductory operating systems text is the only textbook that successfully balances theory and practice. The authors accomplish this important goal by first covering all the fundamental operating systems concepts such as processes, interprocess communication, input/output, virtual memory, file systems, and security. These principles are then illustrated through the use of a small, but real, UNIX-like operating system called MINIX that allows students to test their knowledge in hands-on system design projects. Each book includes a CD-ROM that contains the full MINIX source code and two simulators for running MINIX on various computers.

This book provides students with a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as it applies to trusses, beams, and frames. Emphases are placed on teaching readers to both model and analyze a structure. A hallmark of the book, Procedures for Analysis, has been retained in this edition to provide learners with a logical, orderly method to follow when applying theory. Chapter topics include types of structures and loads, analysis of statically determinate structures, analysis of statically determinate trusses, internal loadings developed in structural members, cables and arches, influence lines for statically determinate structures, approximate analysis of statically indeterminate structures, deflections, analysis of statically indeterminate structures by the force method, displacement method of analysis: slope-deflection equations, displacement method of analysis: moment distribution, analysis of beams and frames consisting of nonprismatic members, truss analysis using the stiffness method, beam analysis using the stiffness method, and plane frame analysis using the stiffness method. For individuals planning for a career as structural engineers.

Providing a comprehensive introduction to operating systems, this book emphasizes the fundamentals of the key mechanisms of modern operating systems, and the types of design tradeoffs and decisions involved in operating system design. It presents recent developments in operating system design, and uses three running examples of operating systems to illustrate the material--Windows NT, UNIX, and IBM MVS.

A market leader in previous editions, this book continues to offer a complete survey of continuous and discrete linear systems. It utilizes a systems approach to solving practical engineering problems, rather than using the framework of traditional circuit theory. Numerous examples from circuit theory appear throughout, however, to illustrate the various systems techniques introduced. The Fourth Edition has been thoroughly updated to effectively integrate the use of computers and to accurately reflect the latest theoretical advances.

The country's bestselling calculus-based physics text, recognized by over 700 schools for its currency, accuracy, and clarity, has received a carefully crafted revision. Its strong problem solving approach, incorporating new intermediate and challenging problems, innovative spreadsheet problems, and ground-breaking conceptual problems with reasoning statements teach students how to think through physical examples as opposed to plugging numbers into formulas. Complementing this unsurpassed textbook is an exceptional ancillary package, complete with interactive multimedia support.  Features: * The Laws of Motion are discussed thoroughly in chapter 5 and serve as building blocks for the remainder of the course material. * Conceptual Examples with detailed reasoning statements help students build on cumulative knowledge of concepts and learn how to think through physical situations rather than simply plugging in numbers to formulas. * Additional beneficial pedagogy includes chapter previews, marginal notes, vivid illustrations, biographical sketches, problem-solving strategies, summaries, thought questions, conceptual problems, spreadsheet problems, and summaries. * Paired problems at the end of each chapter test the students' ability to understand the concept being asked of them and their ability to set up the initial equation, as well as testing their mathematical manipulation of the same problem.  New to this edition: * A line-by-line edit has improved the currency, accuracy, and clarity that earned the text its superb reputation. * New spreadsheet problems appear at the end of most chapters, enhancing students' ability to use the tool and gain more practical knowledge of subject matter. A disk containing templates will be available to all students using the text. * Many new intermediate level problems appear at the end of each chapter and offer students more practical exercises covering chapter concepts. * New challenging problems at the end of each chapter, colour-coded for quick recognition, demand and inspire mastery of content. * Interactive Physics II(TM) software brings textbook simulations to life, keying specific figures and examples from the text, as well as representing material difficult to present in textbook format. This state-of-the-art program offers students greater understanding in an engaging format. * SD2000, a self-contained software package of physics simulations and demonstrations, has been customized to accompany Serway's text. Its capabilities span mechanics, waves, thermodynamics, E & M, optics, and some modern physics topics. Keyed to SD2000 Boxes in text.

This is volume 1 of a 2-volume set from Bell Labs. Back in the day, before the Internet and Linux, this was the best source for information on Unix. It consists of 425 pages in 8-1/2"x11" format with a comprehensive index. There are nine major sections: 1. Commands (183 pages) 2. System Calls (58 p.) 3. Subroutines (60 p.) 4. SPecial Files (22 p.) 5. File Formats and Conventions (26 p.) 6. Games (18 p.) 7. Macro packageas and language conventions (14 p.) 8. Maintenance (18 p.) 9. Quick Unix Reference (8p.) The bulk of the book, the Commands section, consists of what you can find using the "man" command nowadays. ( on line review)
